It’s Ok to Dream

When you are out there trying to find a house that is perfect for you and your family, it’s a good idea to prepare a list of all your needs, wants, and don’t-wants. Yes, an open mind is helpful when shopping for a house, but you don’t need to compromise on the things you truly care about. 

We have access to a rich database of homes all over the Bay Area ready for purchase. We can help you determine the type that will best meet your needs for the next 3 to 5 or 10-20 years. An understanding of the types of homes and terminology used will help you search in the right direction. 

First, prioritize your top 5 “must-have” qualities in a home, your top 5 “like to have” qualities, and you top 5 “we absolutely don’t want” qualities, and take the list with you when you go house shopping. You will be able to quickly eliminate homes that don’t fit your needs and wants, and also be able to spot the homes that deserve some greater attention. 

This is one of the biggest investments you will ever make so you have to be certain with your choices. Whether you're looking for a brand new home or a resale home, we can also offer moving tips and resources so you can be ready for your move-in weeks in advanced. 

Finances

When you are buying a home, you may be thinking “location, location, location” or “granite countertops", but before you can start having fun shopping around, you have to do a little work to get yourself ready financially. Begin your home-buying process by cleaning up your credit report and credit score and you will be able to start off on a solid financial foundation. 

The next and most important thing you can do is get pre-approval from a reputable lender because they are able to determine how much home you can afford to buy. We have outstanding relationships with lenders and brokers that offer a variety of lending options and offer several down payment assistance programs which is almost unheard of in the industry.

Buyer Agents can really help a transaction move much more smoothly!
